Burra

Burra is a facinating heritage town on the edge of the Clare Valley and home of the 'Monster Mine' one of the first copper mines is South Australia and one of the richest too.  This Museum is a replica of the Morphett Engine Tower (used to pump water from the mining shafts).  Morphett was one of the owners of the mine and his name lives on in a suburb near us - Morphett Vale.
